Israel planning 'permanent army stations' in Gaza
An Israeli army officer has told MEE that 'Netanyahu and his far-right war cabinet are not planning to withdraw from Gaza'

MEE not to report his rank and name, said that Netanyahu and his government associates had already asked the army to establish permanent bases in the Gaza Strip, excluding the possibility of any post-war Palestinian administration in the enclave.

The officer said the order to build up the military installations was given verbally.

“We have received orders to determine the locations of permanent army stations within Gaza,” he said. “The defence ministry and the army informally assigned a small number of officers for this purpose.”

The officer added that the worst-case scenario imagined by Netanyahu and his allies is to turn Gaza into the occupied West Bank, where the Israeli army has a free hand to do whatever it wants, from raiding houses to arresting Palestinians without a warrant or a court order.

“Netanyahu and his far-right war cabinet are not planning to withdraw from Gaza,” the officer said. He added that the prime minister is looking for ways and models to ease the international pressure over the army operations in Gaza by scaling down its presence while still maintaining it.

“This model is a more militarised version of the West Bank,” the officer said. “I have served in the West Bank. Gaza will not be like that place, there will be more frequent military stations and more soldiers.”
